Wife's Collection


List of Ingredients




Boiled, peeled potatoes, sliced into small cubes
2 or 3 anchovies, chopped or mashed
3 or 4 pieces of hard salami, chopped (you can also fry the salami and then chop it up)
chicken broth
real Parmesan cheese, scraped into the mixture
generous amount of half and half
cooked ham diced or in chunks (I prefer Cumberland Gap)
small amount of carrot shreds (use a potato peeler)
chopped onions to taste
generous amounts of Old Bay Seasoning
white pepper
black pepper
cooked bacon, crispy and crumbled


Recipe



Start with chicken broth, and add the potatoes. The amount of chicken broth depends on how many potatoes you fixed. Partially mash the potatoes if you wish. That’s a matter of personal preference. Add the half and half and begin adding the Parmesan cheese. It will take a short time to melt into the soup. Add the rest of the ingredients except the cooked ham. Keep tasting and simmering. Do not boil. Add the ham when you are satisfied with the overall taste. Simmer long enough to heat the ham.

The soup will not need a great deal of salt, as that is one of the ingredients in the Old Bay and in the Parmesan cheese. It will be fairly thick. And it stores in the fridge quite well. My husband was quite impressed
